Abstract:

In this paper we propose an evaluation of the performance level of management practiced within the Romanian companies, focusing on their most representative categories: small and medium businesses (SMEs), large companies and multinationals. Our study is based on a research conducted during of year 2014, by applying a survey to two categories of respondents: on the one hand teachers, researchers and consultants and on the other managers and specialists of companies. Those two categories of respondents were chosen because it was considered to be directly involved and therefore having the most relevant information on analyzed phenomena. The final result of this in-depth investigation permits the formulation of certain priorities and means of action, aiming to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of Romanian firms' management.
